C2T: A classifier-based approach to optimize speculative decoding

C2T introduces an innovative classifier-based method for tree construction in speculative decoding, significantly reducing inference latency and computational costs of large language models.

  • Uses a lightweight classifier to dynamically predict token probabilities
  • Constructs optimized token trees for more efficient verification processes
  • Demonstrates superior performance compared to chain mode and static/dynamic tree approaches
  • Addresses critical inference bottlenecks as LLMs continue to scale in size

This engineering advancement matters because it makes large language models more practical and cost-effective for real-world applications, enabling faster response times without sacrificing quality.
